I read a while back of one Lancaster manoeuvre attributed to Erik ("Velcro Lips") Nielsen, QC, DFC, formerly deputy prime minister of Canada and brother of the movie actor Leslie Nielsen (himself a former air gunner). Over occupied Europe, Erik Nielsen's Lancaster was coned by searchlights. His every effort to escape defeated, he told the crew to make sure they were tightly strapped in, put the aircraft into a max-power climb, and as speed dropped off, lowered flap and stayed in the climb.
Then he whipped up the flaps, cut off power, stalled, dropped like a stone out of the cone, regathered speed far below, and so to home.
